THINGS JOURNALISTS BELIEVE that are nonsense.
[J]ournalists like to think theirs is a noble profession, when in fact it is a simple trade. They fancy themselves as do-gooders, sent to Earth to right all wrongs.

Persistent in all this is the wrong-headed belief that news organizations must educate the public.

No. They must inform.

That is a humbler but more valuable service to society.
Journalism's arrogance is underwhelming.
